Gold-Plated Brass Ciborium with Decorative Cross, 5.5 in (14 cm)

For Mass and for keeping the Eucharist in the tabernacle, this gold-plated brass ciborium serves both daily celebrations and larger church ceremonies.

Ciborium for Mass and the Tabernacle

During the celebration of Mass, it holds hosts and the Blessed Sacrament; it is also intended for keeping the Eucharist in the tabernacle. Its wide bowl makes it easier to place and distribute hosts, providing convenience during the celebration of the liturgy.

With its gold-plated brass construction, decorative nodus, and elegant form, the ciborium is a fitting element of the furnishings of a church, chapel, or sacristy. It coordinates with chalices, patens, and other gold-plated liturgical vessels, creating a harmonious setting for the celebration of the Eucharist.

The Cross and Gold Finish in the Liturgy

The fitted lid is topped with a decorative cross that emphasizes the vessel's sacred and Eucharistic purpose. Its gold-plated surface has a noble sheen and reflects light, giving the vessel a dignified, formal appearance. The gold finish, classic form, and careful workmanship highlight the solemn character of the liturgy.

Bowl, Nodus and Dimensions

The ciborium has a wide, deep bowl with a gently rounded shape, allowing convenient storage of a larger number of hosts. Its smooth, lustrous surface reflects light beautifully. At 5.5 in (14 cm) in diameter, the bowl provides suitable space for hosts and supports use during both daily celebrations and larger church ceremonies.

A distinctive feature is the decorative nodus beneath the bowl, marked by pronounced vertical fluting with an irregular texture. The richly ornamented base creates an elegant contrast with the vessel's smooth, gold-plated surface, giving the whole piece a distinctive character. The nodus also provides stable support, allowing the ciborium to be placed conveniently on the altar or in the tabernacle.

The combination of durable brass, a gold-plated finish, and decorative details allows the vessel to harmonize with other liturgical furnishings. Its classic, functional, and dignified form reflects its liturgical, Eucharistic, and solemn character.
